My compilation of helpful git commands

Problem: tracked files not being ignored by an updated .gitignore
Solution: untrack the files first then .gitignore will ignore them after

git rm -r --cached .        # untrack files, replace "." for any other directory
git add .                   # re-adding the files
git commit -m "issue fixed" # commiting changes
git push # pushing changes
